This year, RGD's Student Awards had 330 entrants from 39 schools across Canada, the highest participation this program has ever received.

"RGD's Student Awards continues to gain momentum and entice the Student design community" says VP Education, Karen Satok RGD. "Emerging designers from all over Canada are taking advantage of this incredible opportunity to put their work into the world and gain national exposure."

In 2016, RGD will distribute $23,000 in cash awards thanks to our generous sponsors from across Canada, who have committed to each sponsoring a $1,000 cash prize.

While it will be a challenge to select only 23 winners from the amazing work submitted, our 50 judges will begin reviewing the work of this year's emerging designers have to offer next week.
